Bloghology_Community

The new Bloghology Blogging Community, or Social Network, is another important extension of Bloghology. However, it is significantly more interactive, to reflect the community nature of blogging and the softer web 2.0 style of marketing. It functions and looks similar in many ways, to today’s popular social networking sites. The Bloghology Community Platform is unique in that it provides additional features and functions which are special to bloggers and blogging related issues.

We launched it a few weeks ago. It is still at BETA stage. We started with a hundred BETA testers. After having received so many positive feedback from them, we decided to open our doors to more bloggers. You are also invited to join  Bloghology Community.

Up to now, the users were able to add friends, send message, update their profiles. We will add chat and classified ads functions by the end of this weekend. Our members will be able to chat with their friends/contacts/partners, and develop better relationships.

The “Classified Ads” will allow you to post classified listings. Categories created (like “Sponsorship Opportunities”, “Jobs”, “Personals”, etc.) and you can post relevant listings. You will also be able to search for other listings via a “browse marketplace” area. The good thing is each users’ listings will appear on their profile. No need to spend your time at forums like Digital Points to find sponsors/advertisers for your blog!

Join Bloghology Community, and feel free to invite your friends/colleagues/partners. You can do so by clicking on the TOP header”Invite” and you will be taken to the form where you can add your friends details.

I hope you will like these new features. We look forward to have your feedback. Please go to “Help” menu, and then click on “Contact Us” and submit your thoughts.

I will also appreciate if you can post about Bloghology, and help us spread the word.

Create a Free RSS Feed at RSSPad.com

By Mert Erkal in Affiliate, Blog, Making Money Online, Marketing PR, RSS&Subscription, Small Business, Social Networking, WordPress, copyblogger | Comments (6)

RSS

The PRWeb is worldwide known with its effectiveness on online promotion and marketing campaigns. They have recently  launched RSSPad, a free service for RSS feed promotion for websites/blogs. RSSPad provides a tool that will allow you to syndicate your content through the power of RSS.

What is RSS and How Do You It?

You use RSS (Really Simple Syndication) to syndicate or subscribe to the feed of a website, blog or almost any media content online (not just articles, it can be music, video or almost any digital media). By syndicating you subscribe to the feed of the site which means you do not have to go visit the website to read the latest content. Instead you use feed reading software or a website to read the latest articles. Instead of going to each of your favourite sites individually you can collect all the feeds of the sites (provided they make them available) in one place. The purpose of syndication is to therefore make it more efficient for you to consume your favourite content. For more details about RSS please refer What is RSS and How Do I Use It?

How Can You Use RSSPad.com?

  • You need to have a free PRWeb access to use the service
  • Go to RSSPad.com
  • Click on “Register Free” button on the right sidebar
  • Fill the form, and register your account
  • Login your account, and then Import your RSS feed
  • You need to manually categorize your RSS feed at the beginning
  • That’s all! Now everytime you logon to RSSPad, you will be taken to quick stats page, where you can monitor your RSS feed’s popularity at RSSPad.

Here is my RSS Feed address at RSSPad: http://www.rsspad.com/SearchForBloggingcom.xml.If you find the information helpful, you may want to take a minute and subscribe to My RSS so you do not miss any great articles.

Google

Did you know that Google is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year? Google is celebrating this event with project 10 to 100. It is a call for the ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible. You may join with your own brilliant ideas. I will also join.

I remember the first time I used Google for searching something related to my previous company. It was a milestone for Internet search. Google also helped blogs spread like a virus in the last three or four years, not only with its blogging platform Blogger, but also with its free marketing tools for bloggers. Here you may find my most useful free  Google marketing tools for bloggers list:

Google Analytics

Analyze your traffic, where it comes from, and what it does in your site. It is free up to three sites for an account. One of the best free products I have ever used as a blogger.

Google Alerts

Are you interested in “making money online”? Set it as a keyword in Google Alerts, and let it notify you when another site or blog mentions it. It is a great way to keep track of your online activities as well as your online business interests and products. Set your name as a notification, and see who says what about you in Internet.

Google Trends

It lets you search popular trends, and hot products to promote. Also a breakdown for different regions is possible. Find the most popular blogging related trends, and post about them in your blog. A smart way of increasing your blog’s traffic.

Google Docs

It is full featured online writing editor with some great collaborating features and spellcheck. In addition it lets you publish your content directly to your blogs. You can also save your files in PDF format. You can write your own ebook with it, and spread it online.

Google Blogger

Google’s blogger is a simple free blogging platform. Blogger can be used to promote yourself and self-hosted blogs. It has some built in functions like Google Blog Search bar.

Google Groups

Every blogger knows the importance of having a large community with a similar interest. Social networking is one of the most important factors in your success on the Web. Google groups is a form of business and social networking that every blogger should be aware of.

PayPal is owned by eBay. It is one of the most popular online payment system. It is accepted as safer than other payment systems. It is very easy for merchants and individuals to receive and send money online in return for services, goods, donations, and many more. PayPal also provides front-end and back-end solutions for merchants.

Most bloggers use PayPal buttons to receive money in return of their services. Take a look at my Sponsorship Opportunities page, and you will understand what I mean.
